Ardahan University

A success rank (başarı sırası) is a candidate's place among everyone who sat that score type in the YKS; the lower the number, the better. The rank shown for each programme is the rank of the last candidate placed in its general quota in that year's central placement.

Ranks are only comparable within one score type (SAY, EA, SÖZ, DİL or TYT): each programme admits on one of them, and a rank on one says nothing about another.

Where a programme left places in its general quota unfilled, every eligible candidate who listed it was placed and YÖK Atlas gives no last-placed rank — it is listed apart, never treated as a sure place.

Some programmes set a rank floor (a minimum success rank, e.g. for medicine, law, engineering and teaching); a candidate ranked below it can't be placed there whatever the cut-off.

Quota and placed are for the general quota of the 2026 placement as YÖK Atlas lists them; placed can exceed the quota where candidates tied on the last score.

These figures come from the central placement (YKS) for candidates from Turkey. International students usually apply to each university directly under its own rules and quota for foreign nationals (YÖS or equivalent), which this guide doesn't cover.

University names are YÖK's; English names come from Wikidata where its Turkish name matches exactly, otherwise none is shown. Programme names stay in Turkish as YÖK Atlas lists them.
